115, Climate Control

This is my favorite set of tweezers for helping to hold small parts in place for assembly. The wide ones are particularly helpful when a second hand is needed to hold a small bolt or screw in place. Comes with seven different tweezers as shown. Good for car work. Not good for pulling hair!

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to test the electrical circuits on your Mercedes here is a good option. This tester reads both AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance, and transistor, diode and battery test. Features automatic zero adjust, overange indication, and low battery indicator. Easy to read LCD readout and comes with 32 inch long test leads. Great for testing battery drains and glow plugs.

Not only does this set include almost 100 pieces but it includes metric sized allen (hex) bits and even an attachment to remove a wing nut! How cool is that? Most kits don't contain metric sizes. There are probably enough screwdriver bits in this kit to last you for a very long. Comes in nice molded red case.

This guide is written specifically for owners of 123 and 126 diesels up to 1985. There are some sections that apply to the 115 and 116 chassis but it is not specific to those models. This manual covers understanding how the vacuum system works, common symptoms of trouble, possible causes, and testing and repairing the problems. Deals mostly with issues from the firewall forward like testing the vacuum pump, repairing shutoff problems, finding leaks, etc.

Good used York AC compressor pump. Came of 1977 300D. Was only used on car a short time until the car was wrecked. These are very expensive new.

Genuine Mercedes special o-ring set to repair the leaking brass heater valve levers on your 1967 to 1973 108 / 109 sedans and 1968 to 1976 114 / 115 sedans and coupes. These are not your normal o-rings. These are a custom design made specifically for the heater valve control barrels. Four o-rings included as shown. You need two for each valve. Sorry no instructions included at this time. SKU: CCP-COMHVOR

Here is another diesel item I strongly believe should be replaced as a preventative measure. Water pumps do not last forever and when they go, it is usually when you are on a trip - right? I feel they should be changed every 100,000 miles. It is a realtively inexpensive part and a job suited for the do-it-yourselfer. This item includes full installation instructions with photos. FITS THE FOLLOWING: all 115, 116, 123, and 126 chassis with 4 or 5 cylinder diesel engines up to 1985.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If you are planning on changing your diesel water pump I recommend using Kent's special tool called the Fan Clutch Mounting Bolt Removal Tool.

Fits 115, 116, 123 and 126 chassis diesels from 1968 up to 1985. The factory block heater is probably the most efficient block heater you can install as it heats the water in the engine block directly. It is not particularly easy to install. You have to get underneath the car with a big socket and long breaker bar to get the factory freeze plug out of the block - and more often than not they are really frozen in there. It is worth the effort if you live in real cold country.

For those who do not have the tools or the energy for this one check out our other block heater that installs in the lower radiator hose for turbo diesel models only. This unit is made by Zerostart in Canada and is a 500W / 115V unit.

If your main heater valve at the firewall is leaking these are the special o-rings that you need to replace to stop the leaks. They are specially manufactured - regular o-rings will not work. We source these out at the Mercedes Dealer and make them available to you without the hassle! Very easy to replace. You get the two large ones, and two small ones.

Fits 115 116 123 and 126 chassis diesel engines to 1985. This includes the 220D, 240D, 300D and 300D/300SD turbo engines. Most thermostats only last a few years and should be changed for optimal diesel performance. If your engine is not getting hot, the fuel will not burn efficiently - leading to more smoke and poor fuel economy. If you notice your heater not getting as hot as it use to, then this may be a good clue your thermostat is wearing out. A thermostat stuck closed can lead to engine overheating. It is not an expensive part and it is easy to install. If you have any doubts just replace it.
